SWG: Player Correspondent Position Available

I love how the "job description" itself is flawed, "We’re just looking for someone who can help us sort through the various issues for this profession. " : Core Systems are not a "profession", this is a brilliant example of copy and paste from the other correspondant positions descriptions without any verification, and is a good example of the overall professionalism with which SWG is and has been developed.

The best franchise of all, the biggest potential of all, the largest "potentially interested costumer before even playing the game" MMO, all wasted by a company who has had one success : EQ and failed to adapt to the market and keep its leading position (Blizzard and NCSoft are now largely more successful) but that managed to somehow stay very profitable thanks very smart marketing and business achievements (such as the Station Exchange, Station All Access, Quest for Princess Antonica, etc). Too bad this level of brilliant achievements isn't the same inside the actual games.

I hate SOE because I loved so much SWG and EQ2 before I actually got to play them, had it been another company, developing other franchises, I wouldn't have cared (honestly who shed a tear for Wish being cancelled ?). The level of expectation has always been so high towards SOE, it seems they have always failed miserably. Add to this very harsh way to treat their costumer base (accounts being banned for receiving duped money as payment of selling goods on the market where you can't "select" your buyer), not so great costumer support, hypocrite dev communication, constant downgrade of the promised changes (example : "we are going to revamp the smuggler profession", one month later "we have decided to postpone the revamp because of lack of resources and development time", repeat exact same sentences for 2 years every 2 monthes, check the SWG Official Smuggler forum for detailed historic of "dev promises").

"honestly who shed a tear for Wish being cancelled"

I did. Honestly. Wish was the only class-less skill based game in 3D. Ultima Online is ancient technically.

Hehe well then I honestly "wish" there had been more people like you, perhaps it wouldn't have been cancelled

Btw if you're looking for a "class-less skill based 3D game" you should definitely give Ryzom a try. They have a 14 days free trial so there's really no reason not to try it.
